The construction, fuelling and cleanup of a site is far from carbon zero. There is also a geographic dependency, or should be. Nuclear power puts out more CO2 than solar or wind according to Nature (hydro isn’t mentioned for some reason). “carbon emissions ranged from 1.4 grammes of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour (gCO2e/kWh) of electricity produced up to 288 gCO2e/kWh. Sovacool believes the mean of 66 gCO2e/kWh to be a reasonable approximation.” https://www.nature.com/articles/climate.2008.99 |
